Estimation of possibilities of region transport clusterization

The aim of the article. The aim of the article is to offer the method of estimation of region transport clusterization possibilities.The results of the analysis. The row of indexes is offered for the possibilities estimation of region transport clusterization: coefficient of transport industry localization on the territory of region; coefficients of territorial transit; coefficients of an interregional transport specialization; coefficient of transportation volumes on one inhabitant of the region. For realization of calculations data there is a need to take on the average for 5-6 last years. Than the nearer got values of coefficients are to unit, the probability of a region transport clusterization is higher. The results of calculation of a transport industry localization coefficient on the territory of Zaporizhzhya area testify to high enough degree of transport industry localization on the region territory. The values of territory transit coefficients also testify to high transit possibilities of Zaporizhzhya region territory, which are used incompletely. The coefficient of an interregional transport specialization allows, at first, to analyse the change of every type of region transport ponderability in the scales of country during the certain period of time; secondly, to define the type of transport, which conducts in a region. The expected coefficients of a transport specialization specify on the advantage of motor and river transport. In addition, the part of motor transport did not almost change during the investigated period, while the coefficient of a transport specialization of Zaporizhzhya region on an aviation transport diminished substantially. According to calculations the final coefficient of region transport clusterization potential estimation specifies on high enough possibilities of transport cluster creation in the Zaporizhzhya region. Therefore the possibility of interregional transport cluster creation is considered, the functioning of which will be based on principles of comprehensive connections, community and accordance. Pre-condition of interregional transport cluster forming must be results of analysis of nearby regions (in particular, Dnepropetrovsk area) in relation to the state of a transport infrastructure, possibility of a region transport clusterization, determination of leading type of transport in a region. It will allow to find out the expediency of interregional transport cluster creation, and in the case of positive answer to define strategy of development, kernel and mechanism of clusterfunctioning.Conclusions and directions of further researches. Conducted estimation of Zaporizhzhya region transport clusterization possibilities based on the calculation of transport industry localization coefficient, the coefficient of territorial transit, the coefficients of an interregional transport specialization after the volumes of realized services and after the types of transport, the coefficient of transportation volumes on one inhabitant of region, allows to assert that the Zaporizhzhya area has high enough indexes of transit possibilities, which are used not enough for today. Therefore the creation interregional transport cluster is expedient, functioning of which will be built on the principles of comprehensive connections, community and accordance. The offered algorithm of interregional transport cluster forming clearly shows the sequence of steps, which is preceded to the development of cluster functioningmodel.
